4 servings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 medium parsnips, peeled and diced
- 12 oz cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed, sliced ¼-inch thick
- ¾ cup short-grain brown rice, rinsed
- 6 cups water
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For serving
- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large (5–6 qt) pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
